The Caravan, Featuring You

So we’ve been thinking of all that has made this Caravan

and

and

And the list is long.

To thank you for showing up—

Yes, we’ve announced it. And we’ll keep reminding you. Cuz we really don’t want you to miss it!!

Any work inspired by any Caravan offering is welcome. Reading isn’t required. All are welcome. But/and, if you have any inclination, please do sign up for the open mic.

Yep, the prize drawing entries you’ve been collecting are about to pay off—at said gathering, in fact.

A host of prizes, including

will be drawn for at the July 11 celebration.

Your attendance isn’t required for all but the grand prize (which will go to the first entry drawn and in attendance). But/and, this should be a whole lot of fun. And we want you there.

We want to offer the courses and cover the topics and craft elements you want.

Each season, we list courses (some created from your suggestions, many back by popular demand). We circulate the list. You vote by signing up for your favorite classes. And once we have sufficient interest in a course, we’ll schedule it, often offering those who’ve signed up the chance to weigh in on the when of the class too.
